UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured mechanical service cover for its heating, public health and chilled water systems, excluding chillers. The requirement covers reactive repairs, remedial works and planned maintenance, providing ongoing mechanical upkeep for the Trust’s building services. The work is associated with the Trust’s Cambridge operations. The procurement is for services in the repair and maintenance sector, including maintenance activity on heating, water and chilled-water infrastructure. It is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and the selected supplier is a Cambridge-based building services business. This is relevant to contractors that maintain mechanical building-services systems in healthcare or similarly complex operational premises, particularly those able to respond to faults as well as deliver planned and remedial maintenance.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CPS Building Services Limited. It followed a below-threshold procurement route, with the recorded method described as unknown. The award covers the single mechanical service-cover requirement. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026 and runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2027. Its value is £46,080 excluding VAT, or £55,296 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is an SME. The published outcome identifies repair and maintenance services as the relevant category. The award relates to the full requirement, covering reactive, remedial and planned maintenance for heating, public health and chilled-water systems, but not chillers.

This procurement shows a defined requirement for continuing mechanical maintenance across hospital building-services infrastructure. Suppliers competing for comparable work with Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust would need practical capability in heating systems, public health installations and chilled-water systems, while recognising that chiller maintenance is outside this requirement. Credibility would depend on being able to handle reactive call-outs alongside planned maintenance and remedial tasks, with sufficient technical staff, equipment and organisational capacity to support an operational healthcare environment. Relevant experience maintaining complex occupied premises would strengthen a future proposition. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist building-services contractor rather than only by a large national provider.
